Benefits of technology

The invention is a new type of cigarette pack that maintains its tightness and prevents the loss of aroma and moisture. It is made up of two thin cardboard blanks or part packs, with an inner pack that surrounds the cigarette group and is covered by an outer pack. The inner pack has a closure tab that can be opened and closed, and it is connected to the outer pack using an actuating tab that is glued to the inner pack. The blanks for the inner and outer packs can be produced using standard hinge-lid box packaging machines. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a more efficient and cost-effective way to produce cigarette packs while maintaining their tightness.

Problems solved by technology

Said known pack is material-intensive, has a complicated structure and is not able to be produced using efficient packaging machines.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]The present pack is used to accommodate cigarettes 10 as pack contents. A cigarette group 11 formed from a plurality of cigarettes 10 arranged in formation fills out the interior of a part pack, namely an inner pack 12. Said inner pack is realized as a sealed pack. The cigarettes 10 are preferably without any additional inner envelope that is arranged directly in the inner pack 12. The cuboid inner pack 12, in its turn, is the contents of an outer pack 13, in this case in the form of a classic hinge-lid box or pack, here however without a collar. Outer pack 13 and inner pack 12 are provided with closure means which can be actuated independently of each other in order to obtain access to the pack contents.

[0025]The outer pack 13 in the form of a hinge-lid box is produced in a known manner from a (lower) box part 14 and a cover 15. Said cover is connected in one piece to the box part 14 by means of a crosswise linear hinged joint 16. The box part 14, according to the blank in FI...

Abstract

An aroma-tight or moisture-tight pack for cigarettes (10) having an inner pack (12), produced from cardboard or a comparable packaging material, made tight as a result of corresponding treatment, and an outer pack (13) in the form of a hinge-lid box, however without a collar. A cigarette group (11) is positioned directly, that is without an inner envelope, in the inner pack (12). The inner pack is provided in an upper region, namely in the region of a cover (15) of the outer pack (13), with a particular opening aid. A closure tab (39) of the inner pack (12) is covered over its entire surface area by an actuating tab (42) which is realized as tape and is produced from a separate blank.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The invention relates to a pack made of (thin) cardboard or similar-type packaging material, having an inner pack for the pack contents, in particular a cigarette group, and having an outer pack preferably in the form of a hinge-lid box, wherein the inner pack enveloping the pack contents has a closure tab in the region of an end removal opening, which is covered by an actuating tab provided with (permanent) adhesive and forming a protruding closure edge.[0003]2. Prior Art[0004]A cigarette pack with the abovementioned features is known in European Patent No. EP 1 037 822. The cigarette group, in the case of said known pack, is surrounded by a silver foil inner envelope folded in a cupular manner in such a way that the cigarettes for instance half protrude out of the cup. An inner pack is realized essentially as a hinge-lid box / pack having a closure tab defined by punched lines for a removal opening located in the end region. T...
